Activity of palladium sulfide catalysts in the reaction of gas-phase hydrogenation of 2-methylthiophene

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF02756069

In the interaction of hydrogen with 2-methylthiophene in the gas phase over palladium sulfide cat-alysts at 180-260°C and 0.1-0.8 MPa, the saturation of the thiophene ring resulting in 2-methylthiolane and the hydrogenolysis of 2-methylthiophene occurs. W
